This Veterans Day, I’m proud to announce the formation of our Veterans Employee Resource group (VERG) here at Fox Factory. Yesterday we had our first event welcoming Brian Flynn as a guest speaker to talk about his personal journey in the US Army Special Forces, the Two Wolf Foundation, and to discuss the importance of the VERG mission. When forming VERG, we had an end goal of going beyond just saying “thank you for your service,” and instead finding ways to give back and help our Veteran community find purpose beyond the scope of their military service. Perhaps we can help veterans assimilate back to civilian life by offering unique opportunities at Fox and in our communities. I believe Fox offers a lot of opportunity to find a greater purpose, to achieve fulfillment and to give back to our community. I am proud to be the exec sponsor for this initiative. Our guest speaker, Brian Flynn, is the embodiment of our core values. His foundation, Two Wolf, is already a recipient of our Trail Trust grant, but their mission is never done and they have so many great things planned in the future. I hope we can continue to support him and their mission of promoting healing for veterans suffering from post traumatic stress, and help establish purpose for veterans who return to civilian life by connecting them with the outdoors. I highly encourage my network to contribute to Two Wolf Foundation in any capacity. And as we enter Veterans Day weekend, I hope we can all take the time to reflect on the freedoms granted to us by those who serve, and to find a way to say “thank you for your service.” I encourage anyone to contact me if they have ideas on how an employee resource group can create lasting #impact and #makeadifference #veteransday #veterans #veteranemployment #servicemembers #Culture #impact #employeeresourcegroups

Kudos to Cresa for its support of the military community! As a #militaryspouse, you know your career - if you can finagle one - will always come second to your #activeduty member's. This is a huge adjustment for many of us. Having a supportive employer who is willing to invest in your growth and ride those #pcs waves with you is a game-changer! Not only has Cresa allowed me to work across different states and countries these past 7 years, but they have also supported clear advancements in my career. With hybrid and remote work the norm, I hope more employers will offer opportunities like mine to military spouses. Not only does it create #equity for those who serve, but it's also smart business. Military spouses re-establish their entire lives every few years. Being #resilient, #adaptable and #communityfocused are required traits. Show me a company who doesn't need more of that! #cresa #employeeresourcegroups #corporaterealestate #militaryfamilies #milspouse #veteransday #usaf
As Veterans Day approaches, we salute our heroes and express our heartfelt gratitude to all who have served! To better support Cresa's Veterans, active-duty service members, military spouses and team members with military connections, we are thrilled to announce the official launch of our new employee resource group, “Valor.” Learn more: https://bit.ly/3QNv32y

2023 Veteran Champion of the Year in Corporate 🇺🇸 | Head of Military Engagement & Veteran Talent Programs | LinkedIn Top Voice | Veteran Voice | Public Speaker | CEO of Changing Cadence | Military Influencer
I’m Supporting #Veteran and Veteran Spouse Integration in Corporate America and Local Government. Integrating #military veterans and their spouses into corporate America and local government is not just a noble cause; it’s a strategic imperative. Veterans bring unparalleled leadership, resilience, and dedication to any team, while their spouses offer a wealth of diverse skills and experiences. This integration benefits active and transitioning veterans and their families, providing stability, community, and a sense of belonging. For cities and companies, the advantages are clear: access to top talent, hardworking individuals, and the added bonus of tax benefits. By fostering an environment where veterans and their families feel at home, we build stronger, more cohesive communities. Leaf Home has achieved an unrivaled culture, using methods that were created and implemented by their own veteran employees. To achieve this, it’s crucial to partner with companies, educational institutions, non-profits, and talent pipeline channels. Creating a robust resource library within your corporation or local government can provide the support and information necessary for successful integration. Counties, cities, and companies of many sizes, can utilize this roadmap to success. Perhaps utilize key talent generating channels and internships for libraries and their spouses. 🇺🇸 VETS2INDUSTRY 🇺🇸 Hiring Our Heroes 🇺🇸7 Eagle Group 🇺🇸MI Helmets to Hardhats 🇺🇸JobPaths 🇺🇸AllegiantVets 🇺🇸Veterans Adcend 🇺🇸Work For Warriors 🇺🇸Veterati 🇺🇸DoD-SkillBridge 🇺🇸 U.S. Army Partnership for Your Success (PaYS) Program 🇺🇸Veteran Affairs VR&E Emploter Partnership American Corporate Partners (ACP) corporate pa Non Profits 🟣Victory Bridge Foundation 🟣Changing Cadence Foundation 🟣Operation Homefront 🟣USO 🟣VFW Foundation 🟣 The American Legion 🟣Women Veterans Alliance Together, we can make a profound difference.

More than 200,000 Veterans transition to civilian life every year. But they don’t have to make this massive lifestyle change alone. Using a platform like Teamworks Communities to connect Veterans with other retired military personnel who have gone on to successful civilian careers after retiring from active duty can provide a smoother transition. Communities allows former service members to easily link with such individuals for in-person mentoring and benefit from videos that answer common questions, give advice, and troubleshoot problems. The platform offers human connection, professional opportunities for post-separation employment, and exclusive educational resources. Learn how Teamworks Communities helps your organization better serve #Veterans transitioning to civilian life, enables Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs) to provide effective service and attracts more sponsorship funding from corporations: https://lnkd.in/eegdsJTW

🇺🇸 Honoring #Veterans Beyond Words: A Unique Perspective from Redeployment 🇺🇸 On this Veterans Day, we at Redeployment pause to reflect not only on the sacrifices made by our brave men and women in uniform but also on the unique journey of transition that follows their service. Transitioning from the military to civilian life is a profound and challenging experience. At Redeployment, we recognize the incredible skills, discipline, and leadership that Veterans bring to the table. We celebrate not just their service but the wealth of experience and resilience they embody as they step into new roles, building on the strong foundation of their military careers. Our commitment to supporting Veterans isn't just a sentiment – it's a practice embedded in our company culture. Redeployment actively seeks to utilize the unique talents of Veterans, recognizing the value they bring to our team and the workplace at large. We understand that the skills learned in the military – adaptability, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence – are assets that enhance our collective success. As we express our gratitude for the sacrifices made by our Veterans, we invite you to consider the ways you can support them in their journey beyond the uniform. Whether it's mentorship programs, career development initiatives, or creating a workplace that understands and accommodates the unique needs of Veterans, every action counts. At Redeployment, we take pride in being led by a President and Founder who understands the military journey intimately. A US Navy #Veteran himself, Thomas Bethmann exemplifies our commitment to supporting and empowering Veterans in their post-service careers. It's more than a checkbox for us – it's a personal and professional dedication that runs throughout our organization. This Veterans Day, let's not only express our thanks but also commit to fostering an environment where Veterans can thrive in their post-military pursuits. Join us in recognizing the immense potential of our Veterans and the lasting impact they can make in all walks of life. 🎗️🤝 #VeteransDay #Redeployment #SupportingVeterans

Today, we are just two days away from closing out registration for the March 21st - 24th cohort of Changing Focus: Moving From We to Me. If you haven’t reserved your spot yet, don’t wait until Friday! Do it now!! If you’re asking what’s that? It’s a FREE intensive, interactive, hands-on program designed for service members and their spouses who are transitioning from active duty to the civilian sector, and veterans of any era who want to reset their transition ... in the virtual arena. It’s designed for people who are within 24 months of leaving active duty either way. And, maybe… that’s you! Spend 24 hours over four days with Brunilda (Brunnie) Garcia, MBA, MSS, Jose Velazquez Jr., Matt Sivacek, and me ... we'll help you understand why change is so challenging and how to use your mind to overcome it; you'll find your purpose and create a vision plan for your future; you'll take communications and financial assessments to better understand your behaviors and habits, and you'll receive individual resume and LinkedIn profile reviews. If you’ve ever heard anything about our program, you might have heard that we play with Legos and paint ... it's true! We send you a box of supplies - everything you need for your cohort, and except to a cup of water. If you’re ready to join us for a cohort, you’ll find the link to do that in the comments - and shout yourself out there, too!! If you’re not ready to join us, why the heck not?! What are you going to do that weekend that will position you better for your future than spending time with us? #military #veterans #militarytransition #transitioningmilitary #militaryspouses #veteranshelpingveterans #zigszagsandpivots

Coffee reflections this morning… 💡Collaboration is key for strong pathways to exist in military affiliated employment initiatives. No man is an island, and no one company or organization can make it all happen for everyone. People are different and each individual needs to identify their own path. 💡 Educating TSMs on civilian workforce processes and terminology is vital for successful transitions, which can only exist through strong collaborations. (Thank you for your post today, Joel Martycz, which brought this to light). 💡 You don’t know what you don’t know. Ask questions of trusted orofessionals, heed advice from individuals who have successfully done what you are looking to do, and stay humble throughout the process. 💡 This new hat from Dobbs Equipment, LLC is the bee’s knees. #coffeethoughts #transitioningservicemembers #militaryspouses #veteransemployment #militarydependents #feedandsheltertheworld #strongpathways
